Company Profile

Precision by perfection

LiMaB GmbH was born back in 1990, when Dipl.-Ing. Günter Bartsch dared to go self-employed. Laser beam technology, then still new, had caught his interest, and was to determine his life from then onwards. He started out as a one-man company in the Technolgiezentrum Warnemünde (TZW), and founded Bartsch-Lasertechnik (BALTECH). With the objective of offering the laser marking service to customers from many different industrial areas in Germany, he invested into a Nd:YAG laser marking system LBI 600 from Carl Baasel Lasertechnik.

The first success came quickly, leading to the conversion into M+B Lasertechnik GmbH in 1991 and then the name change to MB Lasersysteme GmbH.

Customer demands increased and the call for precise laser-cut sheet-metal parts was impossible to miss. This laid the foundations for the development of the second business field of precision laser cutting.

In parallel, the idea developed that SMT metal stencils for soldering paste print could be produced more quickly and cost-efficiently with a laser - the third business field. We invested into the LPKF stencil laser, and started to produce the SMT soldering paste stencils and adhesive stencils in 1993.

The name was changed to LiMaB® GmbH as a registered brand in 1997. Since then, our company's name has reflected the core of our business activities

LiMaB Laserintegrierte MaterialBearbeitung GmbH.

Over time, the rented premises in the Technolgiezentrum Warnemünde (TZW) were growing too narrow. We had to move. In 1998, we moved into our new company building in the industrial park Rostocker Fracht- und Fischereihafen (RFH) in Rostock-Marienehe.

Dipl.-Ing. Günter Bartsch never ceased looking for new, innovative business fields. He recognised early on that laser technology would revolutionise PCB production. Together with colleagues, he founded micro3s GmbH & Co. KG in 2003, to offer laser-processing of PCBs as a service to small and medium-sized PCB producers. Success proved him right. Both companies supplemented each other very well, so that micro3s GmbH & Co. KG's acquisition by LiMaB GmbH in 2009 was only a logical conclusion. Since 2011, LiMaB GmbH has been a company of NORIS Group.

In the summer of 2013, our founder Dipl.-Ing. Günter Bartsch started his well-deserved retirement, handing over management of LiMaB GmbH to long-standing employee Dipl.-Ing. Nils Weinz.

High quality, customer orientation, high precision, accuracy, flexibility and speed are the supporting pillars of our success. Our customers from the electronics, PCB industry and engineering, as well as medical and apparatus engineering, value our reliable work as a service provider. Certification to DIN EN ISO 9001:2008 reflects the high quality in our company. We are very proud of the many A-supplier classifications from our business partners.

Our motivated employees are looking forward to facing the challenges our customers pose to us every day. The LiMaB-team is made up of experienced employees with many years of background in laser material processing, as well as "young and wild ones". Training our young talents and regular further training of our employees are matters of course for us. By qualifying our employees and continually investing into modern laser beam technologies and measuring systems, we will master your needs today and tomorrow as well.
